It\'s time to do something about the Party Spam (kinda long)
 

A couple days ago I started copying some of the spam being sent through the Party chat into a word document so that I could send it to Party in a form of complaint/protest. This seems to growing and is becoming annoying (for various reasons). All we need is for players to start having their accounts frozen for using banned software or spend their money on scams instead of "investing" it at the tables, etc. I realize that some of these are legit, but still, Spam is Spam. Do we want to speed the learning process up too much?

So, I have decided to post my list here in the hopes that some of you will join me in sending the info to Party and Associates to try to get something done. If you choose to participate, an e-mail needs to go to each site with details of the complaint. If you think I am out of line with this, please explain why. If you agree, please help. Feel free to cut-n-paste from the list that follows:

they've been banning accounts, but they just create gnome accounts to continue spamming.

This is true, but even Party has to wise up eventually and start limiting the number of additional accounts that can created using same/similar information. Especially if it is pointed out repeatedly.

I have sat back for a long time and read other posts about spmming in the chat, and thought that it would be a futile effort. Each time I saw a spam go through the chat from table to table I thought "someone should do something". Well, I am going to do my part, no matter how futile it is. If I don't try - I can't bitch about it.

The solution is obvious: ban chat from railbirds.

Re: It\'s time to do something about the Party Spam (kinda long)
 

Only allow chat from railbirds with $100 in account.

Immediately confiscate all funds from offenders.

If it is determined that $100 loss is not enough to limit spam keep raising minimum.

It would take a Party Poker engineer a few minutes using your e-mail to add each offending site name to their profanity filter.

The spammers will adapt by adding more spaces and underscores, but it's a nice step to add to other steps such as banning railbird chat from offenders with no real money in the account.

... where the railbird's MGR is less than $x, where $x makes it cost ineffective to churn through gnome accounts.

this is a really easy problem to solve without affecting anyone real.
